"I know there have been ongoing discussions with Mr. Mueller's team and the Judiciary Committee. I think all Members of the Judiciary Committee understand that it's absolutely critical that Mr. Mueller come before the Committee. I think he has a duty to walk the American people through the findings in his report, explain his judgments and the decisions he's made and the evidence he's collected. I expect Mr. Mueller will be before the Judiciary Committee to testify before the American people."
"We want to make sure we're doing this right. We want to be respectful of the Special Counsel. I think it's always better if a witness comes voluntarily. I think someone who has devoted 22 months to this intense investigation deserves that sort pf treatment and I think trying to accommodate him makes sense but if that doesn't work then obviously we'll compel his attendance. There's no question the American people need to hear from the Special Counsel."
